Remember when we looked at the Clinton's tax returns for the past 8 years and saw that they made $109 Million in large part due to Bill's speaking engagements? Most of us thought that was an enormous number that proved that the Clintons had started to lose touch with the American people.
It looked like money had just appeared on the Clintons doorstep. Because in Senator Clinton's disclosures from 2004-2006 there wasn't any information about how much money Bill had made. When those tax forms were released by the Clinton campaign, we finally found out. The name of that tune was $24 Million.
According to a McClatchy report out on Cinco De Mayo, what Senator Clinton did is not against the Senate rules for disclosing spouse's incomes. However it does call into statements that Hillary made saying that the Senate disclosure forms offered a sufficient look into her finances. Really, the fact that $24 Million was missing from those forms doesn't make it appear like Senator Clinton was trying to hide something? It's also nice that Billy Boy earned over $11 Million in an offshore company that invested in a Chinese media company. Yep, those freedom loving Chinese. You know the same country that would never try and interrupt protesters. Her senate disclosures did not include the $10 Million he made for his books. And $2 Million from a Nebraska company that flew Clinton around for personal, business, and political trips.
It might not be against the law, but it does raise the questions of ethics on her. She might not have any conflicts, but with her husband costing that company in Nebraska over $900,000 for using their charter jet, you can be sure that they are expecting some sort of payback.
This just shows that Hillary is not the trustworthy person that her supporters claim she is. She is one of the main elitists in Washington DC and is proud of it unless she is out on the campaign trail. Her staging photos and lying about her experiences should cause people to stop supporting her. If people would get past the sex/race aspect of this Democratic fight and actually look at the issues, then I would think that we would have had a nominee already. And the nominee would be Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hillary not truthful or ethical, but still legal with financial disclosures
